Update, 2/2/2011 1:00 p.m.: Not so fast, "Big Lebowski" fans. EW.com reached out to a Coen Brothers rep who said there are no plans for "Big Lebowski 2." A spokesperson for Tara Reid added to EW, “She heard Jeff Bridges say that he wanted to make 'Big Lebowski 2' and have all the original cast members in it, so she may have misspoke, thinking that included her based on what Jeff said.”

Could Tara Reid have provided us with the best "cat out of the bag" moment so far this year?

Hollywood.tv recently asked Tara Reid, who played the toenail-polished Bunny in the oft-quoted "The Big Lebowski," what projects she's got coming up and, yes, she said it: "Big Lebowski 2."

"The whole cast should be coming back for that," she said.

Is it true? Well, there have been rumblings from "Lebowski" cast members in the past, but nothing definitive. The Dude himself, Jeff Bridges, teamed up with "Lebowski" directors, the Coen Brothers, for "True Grit." He told MTV News back in July that "there were no plans, man" to reunite for "Lebowski 2," but said, "If it happens, what a wonderful surprise."

Consider the conventional wisdom on remakes of classic movies and how crappy they usually are. Now consider True Grit in that context. If the Coen bros decide to make a Lebowski sequel, I think it could could be similarly exceptional.

I saw The Big L a long time ago and wondered why I couldn't remember any of it when people quoted lines. I recently watched it again and now I know why I couldn't remember anything–the movie is mostly crap. Jeff Bridges' Lebowski character is good, but everything else is lame. And then they overuse the F word to cover it all up.

Mike. I thank God for people like you. Truly, I do. Like my old man used to tell me, "not everybody can be a big success in life; somebody has to carry out our garbage." In this sense, not everyone can like TBL. Somebody has to like Dane Cook. It's the yin and the yang, if you will. I enjoyed the movie greatly, and without the use of my legs. Some Chinaman took them from me in Korea...

they just need a good story to tell. The Dude and Walter have moved to Mendocino County. The Dude has been elected a public official in the county and Walter is growing pot and defending his crops. When....

I say, "Don't do it!" I still haven't finished processing the first one. Example: Last time I watched it I realized that the "this aggregation will not stand," comment was a Bush (the First) statement overheard on the TV by L when at the checkout in the first minutes of the movie. Now that's writing... a funny character tell to have 'The Dude,' in a moment of panic, pull out the words of G. Bush (the Elder) of all people.

What?! Why?! FIrst off, film makers rarely make sequels to films that did not perform in their top 5 releases, which Big Lebowski did not. Second, the Coen Bros. have never made a sequel to any of their films and if they were to, there are several others that would warrant one before this film. Sounds to me like Tara is flapping her yapper. I guess I don't blame her. Have you ever seen a picture of her with her mouth closed? That's not a sechsual statement, it's a fact. I don't think she can close her mouth.

Borrowed some DVDs from my son, one of which was "The Big Labowski" a couple of months back. What a hoot! I loved Jeff Bridges as The Dude. He played that part perfectly. Perhaps too perfectly. The remainder of the cast was outstanding as well. I am looking forward to, hopefully, the sequel and I will be among the first in line to purchase a ticket.

The DVD has some out-takes and behind the scenes information. There was an interesting tidbit surrounding the dream sequence, a little cast humor. I leave it to you to discover it.

If you thought the original stunk... you apparently missed like ALL of the dialog. Go watch it again, but this time, actually listen to what the characters are saying to eac hother. If you don't get the movie its because you are shallow brained or weren't paying attention...

OH YES!!!!! BRING IT ON MAN! I WILL WATCH THE DUDE AN CAST FOR THE NEXT 10 yrs TOO. GREAT NEWS, I;m the person who NEVER goes to the movies unless something like this comes along. I'll pay top dollar for this and all the corn n drinks that can fill me up!!!!!!

Ordinarily, I would say that a sequel to a monumentally great film like "The Big Lebowski" is a recipe for disaster. But in this case, let's be realistic... we are talking about the Coen Brothers here. They are absolute cinematic geniuses. I would be thrilled to see what they can do with a sequel, something they have never attempted before. Go for it Joel and Ethan!

Way out west there was this fella... fella I wanna tell ya about. Fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least that was the handle his loving parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. Mr. Lebowski, he called himself "The Dude". Now, "Dude" – that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place so darned interestin'. They call Los Angeles the "City Of Angels." I didn't find it to be that, exactly. But I'll allow there are some nice folks there. 'Course I can't say I've seen London, and I ain't never been to France. And I ain't never seen no queen in her damned undies, so the feller says. But I'll tell you what – after seeing Los Angeles, and this here story I'm about to unfold, well, I guess I seen somethin' every bit as stupefyin' as you'd see in any of them other places. And in English, too. So I can die with a smile on my face, without feelin' like the good Lord gypped me. Now this here story I'm about to unfold took place back in the early '90s – just about the time of our conflict with Sad'm and the I-raqis. I only mention it because sometimes there's a man... I won't say a hero, 'cause, what's a hero? But sometimes, there's a man. And I'm talkin' about the Dude here. Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that's the Dude, in Los Angeles. And even if he's a lazy man – and the Dude was most certainly that. Quite possibly the laziest in Los Angeles County, which would place him high in the runnin' for laziest worldwide. But sometimes there's a man, sometimes, there's a man. Aw. I lost my train of thought here. But... aw, hell. I've done introduced him enough. .......................best opening narrative

Jackie Treehorn treats his objects like women, man. There's no way a sequel will be as good as the original, but I would still love to see it, one of my favorites. They need to come up with some rediculous reason for Walter's weight loss. Steve Buchemi needs to be in it as a new character, but they keep making fun of how much he reminds them of Donnie.

Reportedly the plot will be that Maude Lebowski has died in a freak flying painting rig accident, and in her will she left control of the Lebowski fortune to Alicia Lebowski (the "Little Lebowski", the daughter she conceived with "The Dude"... in the original movie. Now a precocious 13 year old, she has been left in The Dude's custody. However, the wheelchair bound Big Lebowski from the original movie, and his bumbling assistant Brandt, have concocted a scheme to kidnap Alicia Lebowski through a third party, with the goal of forcing her to sign over the Lebowski fortune. Now Walter and The Dude must protect the Little Lebowski from the greedy schemes of the Big Lebowski.

I'm torn. One of the greatest movies of all time. Would love to see the attempt just in case a miracle happens. But Donny died so right out of the gate the mojo will be off! How can you have the sequel without a single "shut the f$$$ up, Donny"? Doesn't work for me.

The line: ""The whole cast should be coming back for that," relates to American Pie 4, not The Big Lebowski. Video is here at the 1 min mark: http://www.heyuguys.co.uk/2011/02/02/the-big-lebowski-2-filming-this-year/

For the record, the Wachowski Bros. (brother and sister) or whatever they're called, and Lucas, have NOTHING on the Coen brothers. None of the three have ever made films that even compare to the Coens'.
A "Big Lebowski II" would blow the Matrix II or III, or Phantom Menace, or Revenge of the Sith, or Attack of the Clones completely OUT OF THE WATER!!!!

Most of these films had the same creative forces behind them as the originals and they failed miserably. And don't think for a second that the Coen Brothers are infallible. Remember "The Ladykillers" with Tom Hanks and "Intolerable Cruelty" with Clooney? They're hoping you don't.

Oh, Thomas, Thomas, Thomas – You CAN NOT compare the Coen Brothers and Jeff Bridges to the Wachowskis and Keanu Reaves. Yes, there are lots of terrible sequels out there, but not all sequels are bad. So the Coens' made two bad movies out of 18. Hardly cause to pan the possibility of a new Lebowski movie. THE DUDE MUST ABIDE.

Besides, Jeff Bridges is good even in a terrible movie. Case in point: Tron and Tron Legacy. Really just terrible movies, but he's so good in them you kinda like them anyway.

K-Pax? Against All Odds? Heaven's Gate? The 1976 King Kong remake? Not all things Jeff Bridges turn up rosy. His track record IS awesome, but it isn't perfect. For a perfect track record of no bad films at all, we must turn to Darren Ewing of "Troll 2" and the immortal Pauly Shore.

two things: 1) George Lucas didn't write or direct 'The Empire Strikes Back', which may explain why it's the best movie of the entire series. 2) The Godfather, Part II is the INCREDIBLY rare exception that proves the rule. Most sequels are garbage. For every good sequel there are two dozen bad ones.

You know what they can do, though? Finally remaster the film and release it on Bluray... Sony's still furious that they chose HD DVD format back in the day, so they hold it against the Coen Brothers... Grow up and give us our classic is beautiful remastered Bluray, Sony!! Although, they grainy dvd quality is timeless.

@C Men and Jamie....I was not denigrating Empire or Jedi. I was talking about Phony Menace, Attack of the Clowns & Revenge of the Sh1ts. Episodes IV, V and VI are the true Holy Trinity and will not be spoken ill of.
